| Notes | The original negative envelope is labeled T. N. Hooper. Based on information in the 1910 federal census and Davenport city directory it seems likely this is Lucretia Anne (Boynton) Hooper, wife of Thomas N. Hooper, the vice-president of Davenport Water Comapny. The couple resided at 704 East 14th Street at that time, perhaps indicating the location of this image. See also X520 (Image 1 of 2) of Mrs. Hooper and a small child in which Mrs. Hooper appears to be wearing the same dress. |
